Contest – PHOTOCHIMICA 2016
The European Young Chemists’ Network has launched the first edition of the European Photography Contest – PHOTOCHIMICA 2016. Under the theme “Chemistry is Everywhere” chemists and not chemists under 35 who are passionate about photography and chemistry are invited to participate. EYCN wants to promote chemistry through the power of visual arts, by showing its presence in all of our everyday activities.
Deadline: 6 March 2016

Rigi-Workshop for Young Scientists 2016
Top of Mt. Rigi (www.rigikulm.ch), January 24-26, 2016
Want advice on how to de- and re-construct the smallest living cells to engineer modified nanomachines, rewire pathways and build synthetic genomes from scratch?
...then we warmly invite you to come to the workshop «Big answers from small packages: systems and synthetic biology of microbes».
Bacteria and other microbes are among the simplest biological systems known and serve as powerful platforms to engineer synthetic cells. We have surgically removed and refactored their genetic modules into networks, switches and circuits; we have dug in their deepest past, we illuminated their insides with bolts of lightning and we engage in chemical (antibiotic) warfare with them. What other knowledge is needed to design, manufacture and/or tame a living cell?
Leading scientists will talk about phylogenomics of bacteria and organelles (Matthias Horn, University of Vienna), phenotypic landscapes and chemical profiling (Nassos Typas, EMBL Heidelberg), high-throughput live-cell imaging (Thierry Doan, CNRS Marseille), dark and synthetic metabolism (Tobias Erb, University of Marburg), synthetic selection networks (Morten Sommer, Technical University of Denmark), designer genomes (Tom Ellis, Imperial College London) and synthetic pathway engineering in bio-technology (Jutta Heim, Evolva SA).
Please find all details in the attached flyer and on our webpage.
Registration is open until October 15, 2015. Registration fee (due only after admission to the workshop) is CHF 150.-

Engaging Posters and Presentations
Making scientific posters and presentations engaging for an audience can be a challenge. If your main subject matter is basically a big bunch of data then how on earth do you make an exciting story out of what looks to most people like a jumble of numbers and structures?
Realising that people want to hear your story as well as that of your data can go a long way to helping you make that all-important personal connection to your audience. Therefore, starting with posters and moving on to giving talks, this collection of tips aims to get you thinking about the scientific as well as the human aspects of what really goes on at conferences so that you can get maximum impact from your time in the spotlight.
